Hi,
I'm off to Uganda in a couple of weeks for 3 weeks holiday flying from Australia with a short stopover in Dubai.
I need to pick up a bottle of scotch for the tour operator and wouldn't mind picking up a few bottles of duty free wine to enjoy while we're there too.
Does anyone know if there is a duty-free shop at Entebbe airport that I can buy alcohol from before going through customs to leave the airport? I bought some Waragi Gin when departing Uganda last time but I don't remember seeing the duty-free shop on arrival. BTW, the Gin never ended up making it back to Australia, it got taken off me at the boarding gate at Bangkok because of Australia's policy of not allowing more than 100ml of liquid as carry on even though it was in a sealed DF bag!
I could buy it leaving Australia and carry it in hand-luggage but I'm not 100% sure that I won't have it taken off me coming through Dubai. Each airport and boarding gate seems to have a different policy depending on where you're headed.
